The Pillars

For a small percentage of the world, perfection simply isn’t enough. They never stop improving, never cease challenging themselves, and never tire of searching for the pinnacle of excellence. For this breed of the cultured elite, Cabot Guns now offers perfectly inverted matching 1911 pistol sets – fully customized to the exacting specifications of our clientele.

By special commission, The Pillars were completed in 2016 as a one-of-a-kind mirror image pistol set. Comprised of a perfectly matched pair of Black Diamond Deluxe pistols, Cabot’s flagship ultra-premium 1911. Hand finished over several days under the watchful eyes of Master Hand-Polishers

Fine art Scrimshander, Darrel Morris, was commissioned to carefully handcraft the art on each grip. The art of scrimshaw – engraving on bone or ivory – dates back to the 1700s. Scrimshaw works are created by punching tens of thousands of tiny holes in the surface of the ivory and filling them with black oil paint. This technique takes hours and hours of meticulous labor, but it makes it possible to achieve very delicate gradations of tone resulting in incredibly lifelike images.

Cabot pistol sets are true mirror image pistols. The left-handed pistol is built from the ground up from a block of billet steel; it is not a converted right-handed pistol. Not only is the ejection port engineered to the left, but all small controls have been inverted. Even the rifling in the barrel has been reversed.

Every masterpiece deserves its proper display – presentation as important as pedigree. In the case of The Pearls, nothing but a one of kind case birthed of equal quality to the passion that went into the set themselves would suffice. Master case craftsman Marvin Huey has laid hand to material and envisioned for these pistols a fitted French case of outstanding alligator hide, his art flowing to the inside of the case and fully enveloping

When you commission a matched set of Cabot 1911’s we pull fresh billet steel from our reserves and begin work on another pair of our master creations. Your set is fully customizable with any client-specific engraving you may desire.

"I've been in this business for a long time and I've never seen a gun company come this far this fast. The Cabot 1911 is the only pistol with the quality of a Rolls Royce and the accuracy of an atomic clock. I had always considered Korth from Germany the reigning champion for producing the world’s finest revolvers and pistols, so it was nice for me leaving Denver knowing that a U.S. company had dethroned the Germans fair and square.

"The gun is just outstanding. At the gun shop where I picked it up people lined up to hold it, touch it and look at it. Get this, they took pictures of people holding it for about an hour and a half. I couldn’t get out of the damn gun shop. It was amazing, everyone was just in awe. It was everything I anticipated and a lot more."

Precision Design

Yes. We offer the world’s first aerospace quality 1911 style pistol. Cabot 1911′s are not just another pistol. Never ever. We’ve been living this creation for years. Cabot 1911’s have set a new standard in precision tolerances and quality not seen before in the gun world.
And, we dare say, a perfect fit. Cabot pistols with Clone Technology have a total frame and slide that are manufactured to fit more accurately than can be done by the human hand. In fact, the tightness is a fraction of a human hair. This is our own long-earned and long-invested proprietary technology.

Precision Craftmanship

With attitude and pedigree. That’s how we approached the manufacture of our 1911 guns along with a refusal to settle for anything less than the best of both. Specifically, we challenged America’s top engineers, machinists and master craftsmen to build the perfect precision handgun from scratch without compromise and what resulted is a superior collection of 1911 pistols made from only the finest of materials, technology and minds that this great country has to offer.

Precision Performance

Shooting a Cabot Pistol, Brian "Gunny" Zins wins the 2012 NRA National Pistol Championship in the first year a Cabot Gun debuts at the competition. And then repeated again in 2013 In 2017 Cabot shooter Jon Shue won the NRA National Pistol Championship. In over 100-years of competition only two civilian have taken first place overall; and both did it shooting a Cabot pistol.
It’s simple. Every one of our 1911 pistols exceed national match standards right “out of the box.” Less simple is what that took to achieve: When the all-time greatest bullseye pistol marksmen pick up a gun to shoot it's a Cabot.
